Modern manufacturing training solutions for today’s workforce. Canvas Envision turns engineering data and tribal knowledge into interactive 3D work instructions delivered at the point of work, so new hires learn while they work and time-to-proficiency drops.
When training and the work happen in different places, that creates a knowledge gap. Every wasted month of ramp-up, every error a new hire makes, every procedure a retiring expert never wrote down traces back to that gap. Closing it is what Canvas Envision is built to do.
When your experienced workers retire or rotate, decades of hands-on knowledge go with them. The know-how was never captured in a structured, reusable form, and the next generation starts from scratch through months of shadowing.
Evie acts as your AI assistant inside Envision Creator, ingesting recordings of your experienced workers performing procedures, plus legacy PDFs, scanned manuals, and other documentation, and proposing a structured work instruction. Tribal knowledge becomes a reusable training asset before the expert walks out the door.
Workers learn in a classroom, watch a video on a laptop, or read a PDF. Then they walk to the line and try to remember it. The gap between learning and doing is where errors and frustration live.
Envision Operator delivers interactive 3D work instructions at the point of work. New hires watch the 3D animation, follow the step-by-step guidance, and capture critical data as they go. The same instruction trains and executes, so learning and doing happen in the same moment.
Every month of ramp-up is quality variance, efficiency loss, and the opportunity cost of an experienced worker shadowing a new hire instead of doing their own work. Time-to-proficiency is one of your biggest hidden costs.
Authors layer in the level of detail each worker needs. New hires see full step-by-step guidance with animations and exploded views. Experienced workers see summaries focused on what’s different about this build. One source of content, layered for every worker.
Engineering changes products faster than the training team can update the materials. Workers train on procedures that no longer match what’s actually on the line, and the training team plays catch-up indefinitely.
When engineering changes the product, Envision Creator brings in the new geometry, and Evie helps revise the affected steps. The training team validates and approves the change instead of rebuilding from scratch. Connecting Envision Connector to your PLM extends the same flow with full traceability back to the engineering record.
Your new hires are digital natives. Static PDFs, paper binders, and classroom training won’t ramp them up quickly or keep them around. Worker attraction and retention now depend on the tools you put in front of the next generation of your workforce.
Envision Operator delivers interactive, explorable 3D work instructions that today’s workforce can dig into and learn from as they work. New hires interact with the geometry, follow animations, and build their own intuition step by step. The experience matches what digital natives expect, so engagement and retention rise.
New hires reach independent productivity sooner because the mentor’s tacit knowledge is codified into the instruction itself, with full step-by-step detail and visual context exactly when each new hire needs it. Master technicians can focus on their own work instead of repeating the same training every shift.
Critical expertise is captured, structured, and reusable. When experienced workers retire or rotate, their wisdom is already part of the platform, available to every worker on every shift.
Every captured procedure becomes a reusable training asset that trains dozens of workers consistently, without requiring master technicians to repeat the same instruction. The training team builds once, and the platform delivers everywhere.
OTIS replaced 30 pages of static 2D documentation with 7 minutes of interactive 3D animations, delivered to workers at the point of execution. The animations are used during the work, in context, at the step the worker is on. New hires reach competency faster, and experienced workers see only what’s different about this particular setup. Training and execution become the same thing.
Still wondering? We're happy to talk through your specific training use case.
3D CAD makes the strongest training content, with interactive geometry, exploded views, and animations workers can explore. If you have 3D CAD, Envision Creator authors directly from it and Evie accelerates the work. If you don’t, Evie ingests existing PDFs, videos, scanned manuals, and other documentation and converts them into interactive instructions, and you can grow into 3D as your engineering data flow matures.
Canvas Envision complements your LMS. Your LMS handles classroom training, learner records, and certifications. Canvas Envision handles what happens when training meets execution at the workstation. Two systems, complementary roles.
Yes. Evie ingests recordings of your experienced workers, legacy PDFs, scanned manuals, and other documentation, and proposes structured interactive instructions. You can deploy training content built from what you already have, without rebuilding from scratch.

Yes. Envision Creator authors a single source of content with layered detail. New hires see full step-by-step guidance with animations and exploded views. Experienced workers see summaries focused on what’s different about this build. Same source, different rendering, no duplicate content to maintain.
